We have a number of members from different parts of the World who are gardeners and it would be nice to know more of how are you able to ” work around our OT” . Most of us work from a garden stool or kneeling...... All the years I have lived with OT there are very few things except gardening that can give me “ a bit of mental escape time” from OT. Working outdoors in Nature in my flower garden or the small dell in the rear of my house or just trimming the landscaping around the house all works for me from my garden stool. Even pulling weeds is not a chore .........well maybe ???????
Most of us have different time zones for gardening.........longer or shorter growing seasons. Here is a tip if you do not know about the use of Epsom Salt in the garden. I’ve used it on my roses for years. I was told that it contains magnesium and helps plants grow, this includes fruits , veggies and landscaping.
Would like to hear from our gardeners again, perhaps they have some new tips or updates for all.
MaureenB you once posted that you go to woodcarving classes. Have you made any wood carving pieces for your garden? This year I purchased two large carved mushroom that needed a little restoring before I can put them some place in my garden..... I’m thinking of the narrow strip wooded area.
I also think it is important that our OT friends share their interests, hobbies and talents that help to distract us from our OT. Pleasant diversions are good for our minds.
Beautiful Spring day for being outdoors but must go to my Chair Yoga Class this morning..........as always Gloria
